XBRL Essentials

XBRL is built on a number of essential specifications that form the basis of all XBRL implementations. These specifications set out how to create and test the "metadata" parts of XBRL: taxonomies, concepts and dimensions, as well as the "data" components: instances and facts.

The XBRL Dimensions specification enables the reporting of multi-dimensional facts against dimensions defined in an XBRL taxonomy.

This specification is sometimes referred to by the historical abbreviation of "XDT" (XBRL Dimensional Taxonomies).
